Linda Gibbons Charged with Disobeying a Court Order

Remember a few days ago when we talked about an authentic Canadian hero, Linda Gibbons, being released from jail after silently holding a sign outside an Toronto abortuary? She was in violation of a 1994 “temporary” injunction prohibiting protesters from coming within 20 meters (60 feet) of the clinic.

Guess what? The grandmother was arrested again outside of the abortuary last Wednesday. This time she’s been charged with the more appropriate disobeying a court order. This will allow a jury trial and will open the “temporary” injunction up to a constitutional challenge; something pro-lifers have wanted for a long time.

Please pray that things go well for Linda Gibbons, and for the pro-life movement in Toronto. In America today we enjoy the right to assemble peacefully (most of the time), but in Canada it’s looking more and more like George Orwell’s 1984. We’ll let you know what comes of this trial; I’m sure it’ll be very interesting when it’s all said and done!

In addition, we comment on current events from a Catholic perspective, post audio recordings of Dan's RCIA talks, and have spoken to hundreds of teens about chastity and God's calling for them.

We'd love to hear from you if you have any questions, need someone to speak to teens about chastity, or need a speaker on the Sacraments, Saints & Mary, Scripture, or nearly any other Catholic topic. Drop us a line at questions@tadaministries.com. We’d love to hear from you! Specific information about speaking can be found here.
